Product Highlights

Data Center Fabric

Manager Professional

Data Center Fabric

Manager Enterprise and

Professional+

HP StorageWorks Data Center Fabric Manager Professional is a server based management application

available at no-charge and comes with B-series SAN Switches and includes the following features:

Allows management of a single Fabric OS (FOS) fabric (up to a 1,000 B-Series switch ports) at a

time

Performs group switch management beyond the scope of Web Tools

Does not offer management of the DC SAN Backbone Director or FICON

It is targeted for SMB customers that use FOS based SAN fabrics and require a management solution for

smaller SANs based on a single fabric.

SMB customers that initially start off with Data Center Fabric Manager Professional and have a small

SAN environment may over time feel the need for an enterprise-class product (Data Center Fabric

Manager Enterprise) as their environments start to grow in size and complexity, and as they start to

uptake more enterprise-class functionality (such as Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP, etc.). A non-disruptive

upgrade path is available from Data Center Fabric Manager Professional to Data Center Fabric

Manager Enterprise.

HP StorageWorks DCFM Enterprise and Professional+ are the enterprise-class products that support

FOS and M-EOS products. HP DCFM Enterprise provides complete DC SAN Backbone Director

management including enterprise-class features/environments such as FICON, Fibre Channel Routing,

FCIP, adaptive networking, etc while HP DCFM Professional+ provides the same feature set except for

support for the DC SAN Backbone Director and FICON.

HP DCFM Enterprise delivers unprecedented scalability, up to 24 fabrics and 9,000 switch ports, while

HP DCFM Professional+ scales to 4 SAN Fabrics and 2560 switch ports.

Both offerings provide brand-new features including Adaptive Networking features for quality of service,

ingress rate limiting and traffic isolation zones.

While DCFM provides increased functionality, not all features available in FM or HAFM are available in

DCFM Enterprise and Professional+, and some functions may operate differently. Please refer to the

Migration and Transition guide for additional information.
